Since when did preaching with prayerbooks decrease special?

[Dr_Locust]

I went to the lighthouse today and picked up my prayer books, and just preached with them for fun. Then I get the message:

 

 

 

"You do not have enough Special Energy to preach."

 

 

 

Was it always like that? I thought there was a time where you could preach as much as you wanted?

[Shadow MC]

As far as I know they have always been like that.

[iRange]

Always been like that.

Its always been like that, i remember getting those messages a long time ago.

Each preach uses 25% of your special bar.

Thanks guys, so I guess there's a benefit of preaching that I'm not aware of?

Nope, it's simply spam prevention.

 

 

 

Also I never checked but its possible that it depletes a second special bar, try preaching with specing weapon on and see what happens. That would be the proof that it's only to stop spam

I'm a bit confused, cause you can do "Marriage Rites" and other prayers as much as you want. It's just the last option "Preach" that drains the special bar by 25%. Also, I'm confused by what you said about a "second special bar". Don't you just have 1 special bar no matter what weapon you use? (Cause your bar doesn't refill when you switch a weapon, otherwise you could just carry around 10 weapons and do special after special).
